20% of organ seekers in Karnataka are techies: Health Department- Grapevine

The labour department has cited instances of arbitrary termination, ID blocking, mass retrenchment, layoffs and extended hours of work as well as sexual harassment at workplace as a reason for revisiting the relaxation.

Karnataka plans to end labour exemption to tech firms

Data engineer

Be more brief, if its part time, full time, how are you managing time, do you earn from it, hobby or responsibility, etc

Folks doing side gigs, what are you doing?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Why: I know that with all the job layoffs happening, it's kinda stupid to quit but I just can't. After almost a decade in the startup scene I'm taking a break, probably for good. 

From AI to B2C to ed-tech and more I have worked with startups at every stage of growth and across sectors. Almost in every one of these w/o exception, I have experienced burnout, mindless pressure, and being underpaid because I'm not from an IIT or IIM. 

Context: I love technology, I have been a sci-fi nerd since school and I threw myself into the stories of startups changing the world. But because of family finances and the overall culture of startups I haven't taken a break in about 10 years and it's starting to show. 

I don't have savings to last me more than 3-4 months but at this rate I'll end up checking out of society. 

Unsolicited advice: 
1) Most startups and the VCs that back them know they're going to fail but don't internalise their failure as yours. 
2) Always, always take care of your mental + physical health. Doesn't matter if you're intern and you're expected to slog 12-15 hours in the name of learning. 
3) I missed moments with my ageing mom and dad, school friends and just time to read and relax because I was afraid of missing out on "networking" and "office night outs". Fuck all that, it is and it will always be family and frit first. 


Finally, Fuck all you hustle bro CEOs, they have done more to damage the mentor health of a generation more than any politician. I feel stupid and useless because you can't help posturing and creating panic in the name of disruption. Hope AI takes your jobs too. 

PS: See you on the other side.

I'm laying myself off. Indian start-ups have killed my sense of purpose

After getting a bunch of 'buy a house' advice from my in-laws over the weekend, I decided to fire up magicbricks to check prices in Bengaluru. My browsing ended within 5 mins seeing just how much the prices have risen in last 1 year

A 3BHK that used to cost 2.3 Cr last year is now 3.7
A 2BHK that used to cost 1.8 Cr last year is now 2.7

These are two houses I had earmarked for sometime later when I would have more money

WTF is happening in BLR

Did you notice? Bangaluru housing prices have EXPLODED

Time to call in-laws and say that "Aap do jodo mei ladki bhejo ladki huio hamaari"

Considering Edtech, Fintech, E-commerce is done

I don’t think they add any value but just keep seeking credit for others work.

How many of you hate MBAs and why?

I am a fresher 2023 graduate and have been doing this (applying for jobs) for almost a year, everyone said you have to do internships as it is necessary so did 2 internships one for a year and another for 6 months but apparently no one counts internships as experience even jobs that had 1-3 yoe as requirement and now everyone's hiring 2024 grads as freshers (I tried to look for another internship but there were none during the time of placements).

I am now tired of this field, many full stack devs don't know shit outside Javascript world and many of them can't even use tools like git properly and are so cocky of themselves. 

Saw an SDE on twitter who apparently has 6 years of experience, doesn't even know how to configure multiple SSH and says managing multiple ssh is a downside. A women dev (cause in India you have engineers and female engineers apparently) doesn't know about sidebar cache and calls it a bug and she's in google. and If I try to roast these people with my real name there's a whole cabal of Banglorians who will grab their macbooks inside third wave coffee and start tweeting against me after aggressively drinking their Chocolate mocha frappe.

Just go into any random tech twitter space no one seems to be talking about tech it's always about DSA, interviews, LIFE IN BANGLORE, which cafe they visited.

I let myself believe tech was my passion and worked hard  for but Indian techies and companies are worst, this generation thinks they are better than their predecessor but follow the same politics everywhere even when it comes to Tech communities (who tf does politics in a community that produces open source code wtf).

They talk about networking and creating a community all the time but can't even respond to linkedin cold dm and blame the sender by nitpicking about the format 👏👏 and then they'll go on post the screenshot and rant how it's the sender fault to even try to network with them with a message that isn't written from their own blood.

Tech rant

Bangalore tech scene is weird man. I feel even the auto driver knows how to code and the third wave barista is definitely doing leetcode because that coffee & sandwich clearly don't take 15 minutes to make

Founder

What is this Karya, and why is Satya Nadela promoting it?

I heard the video, 20×minimum wage can't possibly be True. Minimum wage in India is 200 Rs per day, so these women cannot be earning 4000 a day. This means 1.2L a month. Is it only a bullshit PR campaign masquerading as a Social initiate or is there really something to it? 

Your thoughts please

Microsoft people on GV, need your honest opinion

Business Analyst

Hello boys, gals and all other pals!

I am switching jobs rn and I have offers from a European auto anc in Bengaluru and one in Chennai.

Ceteris paribus, I wanted to know how much of a difference does being in Bengaluru make interms of future job opportunities

Are there a lot of walk-in interviews for companies based out of there, job fairs etc? Is there a subconscious or otherwise preference for candidates already based out of Bengaluru?

Also, how is Bengaluru in general for a 24M, single, introvert whose daily non-work activities include going to the gym, reading boatloads of stuff and watching sports?

Thanks in advance for the replies
